YA
Both physically blind and blind to the inequities faced by her people, Isra has been raised in the domed city of Yuan. Gem, a mutant from outside the dome, is driven by revenge for the harsh treatment under which his people suffer. Jay pens a predictable star-crossed romance but sets it in a world that ably blends science fiction, fantasy, and dystopian politics.
